For single-family dwellings in the R-3 through R-6 Districts, certain side yard standards relate to the height of building segments. For the purpose of this provision, the height of a building segment shall be the vertical distance from the average ground elevation to the highest portion of the building which lies between the minimum setback for building segments up to 18 feet in height, as regulated in this ordinance. The average ground elevation shall be calculated by measuring the ground elevation at ten-foot intervals around the perimeter of the foundation of the portion of the building which lies in closest proximity to the side lot line.
